CHAPTER NINETEEN

Since they never made it to the Peninsula for lunch, Randall settled for the drive-thru at the ‘rock and roll’ McDonald’s on LaSalle. He wolfed down two Big Macs in record time. Although he encouraged Sloane to order, he was only able to convince her to share his large order of French fries. He was not surprised when he reached for a few more and they were already gone. She really did like junk food.

Randall was relieved to get a second chance after that disastrous night at the Cubs game. He never apologized for walking away and she never questioned him about it. It was as if there was a mutual agreement: “the less said, the better.” He was here now and that was all that mattered.

Pulling into his reserved space in the PPHP garage, Randall gave Sloane an evaluating look. Her elegant straight blue dress stopped just above her knees. It had sleeves to just below her elbows and she looked long, lean and sophisticated. Her lustrous hair was tucked back in a neat chignon, but he could still remember it flowing through his fingers like heavy threads of silk. He felt his body stirring again. She looked cool and in control, so different than just a few hours ago.

Don’t think about hours ago or you will not be able to walk.

The woman was incredible – responsive, sensuous, willing to lead or follow. Her body was slim to the point of skinny, but her breasts were lovely, her stomach taut and flat, and her legs long and muscular. She could wrap around him like a cobra and he loved sinking deep into her and watching her hold on for the ride.

Stop thinking about it. Think about the acquisition. Think about French fries. Think about anything else.

Feeling his erection subside, Randall inched into the parking space, turned off the car and went around to open Sloane’s door. She sat demure, waiting for him to help her from the car and he did not disappoint. The etiquette and manners drummed into him as a young boy would pay off with this woman. He had been raised to treat a woman like a lady and she had been raised to expect it.

He took her hand to help her from the car and didn’t let it go until they stepped from the elevator into the hushed offices of PPHP. Then he let go only to move his own to the small of her back, ushering her down the plush-carpeted corridors toward his imposing corner office.

Sloane understood business. She was savvy enough to recognize that this huge corner office was designed to both intimidate and impress. Finance was about trust, the belief that this company understood wealth - how to acquire and protect it. This space perpetuated the image of success, of a solid company that could stand the test of time. All of that was intentional. The surroundings were created to lull clients like Sloane into trusting that their money was well cared for, that they were in the most capable of hands.
